Otto is truly Opensource; it means the hardware is easily discerned so that others can make it, Arduino compatible, 3D printable and customizable, and therefore

the perfect opportunity to build your very first robot, learn robotics and have fun.

is more than just a robot toy; the act of building and coding your own Otto

will create an emotional attachment between you and him. Otto brings children and people closer to technology. learn the logical connection between code and action, and by assembling it they understand how its components, and electronics work.

Otto is the ideal companion for developing STEAM skills. Via the instructions, children exercise mathematical thinking, reinforce their technological and physical knowledge and enhance abilities such as problem solving and creativity. Through play and experimentation children can learn about this technological product in a fun and educational way.

Thingiverse Education (the biggest 3D printing community) certified that Otto with a 3D printer make teaching easier and more effective for a variety of grade levels and subjects. It also provides a community where educators can exchange best practices or remix projects.

quickly learn the principles of coding before jumping into C/C++ advanced command lines, algorithms and functions.

programming and computational thinking

in programming, finding a solution requires that a problem be divided into parts and that actions be sequenced. This helps to structure mind and thought, coding with Otto the children exercise their computational thinking and put skills into practice that are necessary for problem solving.

one of the easy ways to code Otto is with mblock; an open software that allows easy visual coding with Scratch alike language developed by the MIT, includes Arduino coding lines for advanced builders and is available for the main OS.

steambotvn contributed designing this great extension for all Otto DIY kits.

designed in APP inventor our open mobile application allows to control all moves, gestures, sounds, speed, ultrasound, callibration, modes and even create your own dance choreography for Otto DIY+

develop by Jason Snow Otto builder

small bipeds are the biggest and broadest family among open source robots, in Otto DIY we like people that not only copy but change, 3D print, play, remix, make new mods or redesign and then share their robots.

together as community we are collaborating worldwide to expand the reach and capabilities of open robots, making robotics more accessible to everyone and bridging the gender gap.

because Otto DIY and DIY+ are truly Open; all files are available for FREE, find the list of electronic parts, 3D printable files, then follow the detailed and easy step by step colorful guides about building and how to start coding, print them to use in STEAM classes, robotic workshops or personal use to simply make and build your own Otto.

art and creativity; a robot is not just electronics and programming, it is also design. It is art. altering Otto's appearance with cutouts, paper craft and 3D printed accessories develops the child's creativity as well as other indispensable qualities, such as concentration, perseverance and attention to detail.
